Gift idea for scooterists: Calendar

Lambretta, Vespa

A slightly different calendar for scooterists

Today we are ready to broaden our horizon - but not too much: Many scooterists had one themselves and if not, parents, uncles, aunts or brothers owned one: a VW Beetle and the VW Bulli, the handiest car worldwide.

The dream of mobility and independence turned the VW Beetle into a post-war symbol. But this is not the only feature it shares with classic scooters like Vespa and Lambretta.

So this is a wonderful Gift idea for scooterists and every fan of VW Beetle and VW Bulli: two beautiful calendars are now part of our product range:

Calendar -The VW Beetle 2016-

1st edition, 13 sheets with B / W-photos, explanations, size 56 x 46.2 cm, spiral binding, Delius Klasing

No road too long or too steep, its opposed cylinder type engine beneath the tailgate did hard work, almost without complaints. It is no surprise that it turned into a marathon machine and had a great reputation.

This car was developed by Ferdinand Porsche, built in Germany and developed into the first real global car. And the Beetle always cut a fine figure. Those who didn't own one themselves, loved to be a passenger.

Buy VW Beetle calendar here

Calendar -Bulli Parade 2016-

1st edition, 13 sheets with B / W-photos, explanations, size 56 x 46.2 cm, spiral binding, Delius Klasing

This calendar celebrates a classic style icon: the VW Bulli. Until today this van and transporter legend has a large fan community. Its universal concept and wide range of types turned this transporter for people and goods into some kind of "family member" of their owners. Being used by mail services, police, fire brigade or as ambulance are best examples to demonstrate that almost anything was possible, just depending on its equipment.

The large fan community of the VW van wouldn't want to miss their Bulli in automotive day to day live. This calendar is for them and depicts an extraordinary parade of this classic: vehicles of the first generation and its drivers on and next to the street, in free time or while working.

Of course we also offer scooter calendars.

The most ugly Lambretta in the universe

Lambretta, News

Off to Verona with our BGM Lambretta

Mission one of this trip to Italy: Our BGM testing bike is equipped with the finest parts of BGM PRO and Casa Lambretta. A Lambretta which is technically on the highest level.

Design follows function

you already know what Dean OrtonRimini Lambretta Center) thinks of the looks of the BGM demonstrator Lambretta. According to Dean Orton it is the most ugly Lambretta in the universe.

When assembling this Lambretta other things were more important than its design. Any fitted BGM PRO part Has Been put through its paces on our test bike before being mass produced. This bike was also available to our customers test rides on several occasions. We obviously needed an easy-care paint. Furthermore:

Tuning quotes

Design follows function
Chrome won't bring you home
Rust is lighter than carbon

Dean, please MODify our Lambretta

Still, “most ugly Lambretta” - we couldn't stand this! Dean is not entirely wrong though. This is why we didn't hesitate when he had offered to refine the looks of our Lambretta. Rimini Lambretta Center is our Italian BGM dealer. Dean, the very model of a mod, actually wants to assemble a BGM demonstrator for the Italian market. So once he's at it….

La Dolce Vita

Last week we took the Lambretta DL to Verona and parked it at a friends place. It was a very warm welcome and handing the Lambretta over took one or two glasses longer than initially planned. We love Italian hospitality.

Dean picked up the scooter and brought it to the hallowed halls of RLC Rimini Lambretta Center to refine it. We will keep you posted here in the Scooter Center Blog, so that you are always up to date with the development of the new BGM PRO Demonstrator Lambretta.

Note for a reader who just came across our blog: No need to worry about owning the shop most ugly Lambretta... First of all we are currently changing this and secondly we are proud to also own the probably most beautiful Vespa on earth ...

Generation XI (Vespa ET3), Lambretta, Largeframe, Smallframe, Vespa

Off to the Promised Scooter Land by Vespa and Lambretta

We love Italy and recently toured beautiful Italy. Italy is obviously the birthplace of Vespa and Lambretta.

And how could things be any different: More than 23 years ago story of Scooter Center has begun right there, at Lake Garda in Italy. Which should be the case for anyone part scooter shop.

Malcesine is located in the midst of lovely olive groves on the eastern shores of Lake Garda. It was right here that Oliver Kluger bought Scooter Center's very first scooter (a Vespa Rally TS 125), which was then sold to “Mod-Volker” from Cologne. Volker is still driving this excellent Vespa, he was our very first customer and is loyal to us.

Dean Orton visiting Scooter Center with his BSG Corse Lambretta

Generation XI (Vespa ET3), Lambretta, News, Test bench

Bon voyage - Dean comes with the BSG Corse bike to visit Scooter Center

Dean Orton, the main man behind Rimini Lambretta Center, came to visit us for a couple of days. On his way from Italy to Venlo Scooter Run and afterwards to the Harz ring for the ESC race, he came to visit his old friends here. The reason for Dean's days off from work was to give the BSG corse engine a proper test ride and thrash it as hard as possible.

BSG Corse Lambretta test riding

The testing of the engine is done in the proper way, just the way it will be used by a common rider. First of all the scooter is packed with Dean's mod tat and additionally with:

a second expansion chamber to be tested
a bag full of spares and
camping gear for Venlo.

Then the bike is thrashed about the motorways and country roads across Europe (Rimini, Italy - Austria - Germany - Venlo, Netherlands). His test ride also took him to Scooter Center Cologne and to the Harz ring for the ESC race.

80mph - restricted to 50hp

This is real testing over a long distance with sitting happily at 80 mph all day and plenty of throttle left to easily hit 95 mph and all this with a very short gear ratio of 4.9.

The 305 cc barrel on the CNC machined casings is restricted by the programmable ignition to 50 hp. Unrestricted it gave a 63 hp at the Rimini Lambretta Center dyno.

Scooter racing at the Harz ring

At the Harz ring this weekend there will be held the next ESC race. Dean met the Casa Lambretta racing team last night. Today the first testing of the Casa race bikes will take place and the last preparation before the races will be done. The Casa Lambretta race bikes feature the Casa Performance range as well as some BGM parts that are used on these bikes. We were happy to supply them front and rear shockers, The Silent blocks as well as ours BGM Superstrong Lambretta clutches for the bikes.

Our first time!

Even if we know each other for decades and the shops were founded roughly at the same time, we haven't managed to visit each other's shops until the year 2015.

On the 25^th of April we were invited to the Open Day and shop opening of the new Rimini Lambretta Center premises. This weekend was one of the best ever, with a stunning shop, loads of food and drinks and the test riding of scooters that made history – like both Innocenti twin cylinder prototypes- and bikes that probably will make history – like the BSG 305 cc one

Here is the video of Philipp riding the BSG Corse Lambretta

On monday we finally had the pleasure to welcome Dean at our place! It was a pleasure every single second and a lot of piss taking has taken place. After a first tour through the shop on Monday and even some business talk we had dinner together and the stories never ended. While Dean quotes our Generation XI Smallframe Vespa as the most beautiful object in the universe, he can't be stopped to let us know that the look of the BGM Lambretta Test Bike is the shittiest Lambretta he ever came across. A theory we are confronted with from the first day Dean saw the test bike at the 2nd^nd edition of the Riva del Garda Customshow in 2013. To stop this, we will send the test bike over to them to have the optics matched to the perfectly working engineering of it.

on tuesday Dean tested the bike in the rain on the beautiful routes around Cologne / Bergheim and came in for the traditional afternoon tea and some more stories and ideas about how to improve Lambretta parts.

On Wednesday the plans were to do another tour and take some pictures of how we proceed orders to show them at home. This has been missed though, because we wanted to see how the BSG engine performed on the dyno with the different pipes Dean had with him. Sadly we ran out of time and hadn't the chance to put the Big Box on the 305, to modify an U-bend for the exhaust stub took too long and lunch was waiting and afterwards Dean had to leave.

We send our best regards to all the staff at Rimini Lambretta Center and to Vittorio and his race team and keep our fingers crossed!

The ride-on car comes before the balance bike

Lambretta, News, Vespa

Nice retro ride-on cars made of metal

We offer excellent wooden balance bikes for scooterist parents' kids. But ride-on cars come before the cool Vespa or Lambretta balance bike.

There's that total classic made from plastic which is present all across Germany - however, most of the scooterists to the bone belonging to the classics scene refuse to ride plastics themselves! So their offspring must have something adequate and stylish to ride on. We have found something:

"Genuine metal"

Genuine metal is a tagline in the Vespa scene. We now have excellent ride-on cars made of metal that suit this tagline:

Get ready for wild races! At the cockpit of this maneuverable red Baghera retro ride on car made of metal, car racing will come to life in your child's imagination. With this classic, terms like throttle blipping, warm up laps, starting grid, start, finishing straight and pit stop will soon no longer be unfamiliar!

Other Baghera models on offer:

for children ages 3 and up we recommend our cool Janod Vespa balance bikes:

Jerry can for Vespa, Lambretta scooters and motorcycles

Automatic 2-stroke, Automatic 4-stroke, Lambretta, News, Vespa

Jerry can for scooters

Hünersdorff "Fuel Friend" portable jerry cans 1 liter, 2 liters and 3 liters with fuel filler for all petrol nozzles. All of these fit in the glove box of a Vespa.

Summertime is the time to travel. Have you ever been in that situation, fearing that the petrol left in your tank won't last until the next petrol station? Have you even ever had a breakdown due to an empty tank? We know this problem and therefore searched for a solution - and found it:

Today we would like to introduce a reasonable add-on to your tool kit:

Extremely Handy Transportable Jerry Cans

Our Hünersdorff Jerry Cans "Made in Germany can usually be filled with a petrol nozzle at the petrol station and have a volume of 1 liter, 2 liters or 3 liters, which comes with the certainty to get to the next opened petrol station.

1 liter jerry can

The 1 liter Fuel Friend is equipped with two very handy phones flaps on the sides, in order to attach the jerry can safe to the scooter. For a Vespa or Lambretta this happens for example under or on the seat, for a Vespa GTS or Gilera Runner in the luggage box or, according to the type of scooter, the jerry can be attached under the fairing or to the frame. Thanks to the flaps there are no limits to your creativity.

Very sturdy jerry cans

All FuelFriend cans are very sturdy - a double skin makes it feel like a jerry can from the petrol station but not to be compared in quality.

2 liter jerry can

We offer two different 2 liter jerry cans:

Fuel Friend 2 liter jerry can

This transportable Jerry Can has a large mouth and can be filled with petrol nozzles at the petrol station.

Hünersdorff 2 liter jerry can with integrated spout

This standard Hünersdorff jerry can does not have a large mouth and has to be filled by the help of a funnel. Goal something special is hidden beneath its small cap: If you detach the cap, you will find a small snorkel. You pull this integrated spout out of the can, which enables you to cleanly fill your tank with petrol.

The Hünersdorff 2 liter jerry can also has a flap to securely attach it to the scooter. Which is missing for the 2 liter “Fuel Friend”.

3 liter jerry can

The 3 liter transportable jerry can is traditionally shaped. Even this three liter jerry can still be fitted in the glove box of a Vespa PX EFL or LML Star. You have to place it vertically - the can won't leak and on a long ride out three liters of additional petrol really calms you down!

Comparison in size

1 liter / 3 liter / 2 liter

Jerry can in the Vespa glove box

Here you can see some pictures of fitting a jerry can and a can of oil in a Vespa PX EFL / T5. 1/2/3 liter jerry can, 1 liter oil and the tool kit easily fit in.

2 liter Vespa scooter reserve canister

1 liter Vespa scooter reserve canister

3 liter Vespa scooter reserve canister

Mobile phone add-on

This isn't meant to be a “Do you also need a leather care product for your new shoes? - trick ”: It really is a helpful and handy add-on to your jerry can.

Safety fuel filler

The safety fuel filler, or to put in the words of Hündersdorff “filling system for fuel”, fits all standard Hünersdorff jerry cans from 1 to 20 liters.

Safe and clean thanks to automatic ventilation

It's annoying when the mix of petrol and oil drops next to the tank! This is not only an ecological and economic waste, but also harms the paint of the scooter. Using the Safety fuel filler for jerry cans puts an end to this.

There is an easy explanation: The fuel filler is equipped with an automatic ventilation. A feature you know from racing: Turn the can around and it won't leak. Only when you push the fuel filler on the tank, the lid will open and petrol is being filled in the tank. When you stop putting pressure on the filler, the jerry can is sealed and won't leak.

The air used for ventilation flows through a central opening, while the petrol runs into the tank through openings on the sides. When reducing pressure, a rubber seal will prevent further drops.

Jerry cans for more than 3 liters

You need a jerry can for the car, garage or racetrack? You can find any Jerry Can in the Scooter Center ScootersHop.

Scooter Center Vespa and Lambretta Classic Day 2015

Many thanks go to the many visitors of our Classic Day 2015. The sweet smell of two stroke engines still lingers around the Scooter Center. You really gave our dynamometer some stick. The waiting queue seemed to be endless.

The Casa Lambretta range includes, others amongst, parts for the very old shaft driven Lambretta models m (A) to F, Lambretta Smallframe parts for Junior and Lui and spare parts for the Li family. Victor Tessera offers spare parts made in italy but so accessories and tuning parts for all Lambretta scooters.

The entire Casa business is focused on Vittorio. He is the key player for all reproducing parts. Dean Orton and the Rimini Lambretta Center Recently offered to conduct external quality checks for Casa. This is how Casa products are constantly being improved. The toolbox lock for series 3 is a recent example. It was equipped with a new locking cylinder and finally no longer gets anybody's attention due to unpleasant rattle.

Vittorio Tessera does not only do restoration works. He also has published many books on Lambretta and scooters in general. Vittorio's book Innocenti The Definitive History is the core literature on Lambretta. Later the Restoration Guide was added, which explains all details concerning restoration of various Lambretta models:

Scooter Center goes Italy - 2 Lambretta Rally

Events, Lambretta

Part 2 Test Cromate Scooter Club Ride Out / Rimini

1. Rimini Lambretta Center 20th Anniversary Open Day / Rimini
2. Try Cromate Scooter Club Ride Out / Rimini
3. Polini plans tour / Bergamo
4. Visit of the Casa Lambretta and the Lambretta Museum / Milan

Lambretta Rally

Try Cromate SC, the local Lambretta Club, organized an awesome ride out in the soft hills in the region of Emilia Romagna on Sunday as a side program to the Rimini Lambretta Center Open Day.

Entire video

You can find the video of the entire ride out beginning at the stop at Europlastsucci with GPS - measured speed display. Enjoy:

Yummy stopover

In a well organized corso of about 50 lambrettas we reached our first interim goal after a few kilometers: Europlastsucci. An old customer and manufacturer of GRP frame sections and further Lambretta specialties.

In order to regain strength for the rest of our ride out and as mental preparation for lunch we have an Aperitif. After adjusting the tick-over rpm with Prosecco and other non-liquid refreshments we leave the city and cross the mountains in a great track.

Lambretta BSG Corse with 45HP and 305cc

Of course we have already had the opportunity to drive many extremes scooters. Goal Philipp's scooter for the corso was a doozie:

BSG Corse Lambretta with 305cc cubic capacity and performance of more than 50 HP. The most violent we ever rode. CNC - engine block milled from one single piece, 305cc BSG Corse cylinder, Cyclone5 5 speed gearbox and BGM PRO Superstrong clutch. This monster has more than 50 HP. The demonstrator was downsized from 51HP to 45HP via ignition for the RLC Open Day.

First impression:

The beast has instant throttle control and within a blink of the eye you exceeded 100km / h. Thanks to BGM PRO SUPERSTRONG clutchSwitching gears is clear, easy and very smooth, the 5 speed gearbox perfectly transferred. Power without limits and pressure in every gear.

Lambretta with a high amount of performance

The CNC engine has a crankshaft with wide crank webs. In order to securely transfer the performance of the 305cc cylinders to the street, the proven components BGM PRO shock absorbers and BGM silent blocks are used for the wheel suspension. Due to the enormous cubic capacity the exhaust is large. However its distance to the ground is sufficient for it to not put down on the street, even in hairpin bends. A vehicle of such a high performance also needs a strong braking system. RLC uses aa MMW disc brakes.

There is a high amount of performance in this engine, so it doesn't come unexpectedly that the frame hits its limits since the original engine offers only a fifth of performance when being compared to the BSG Corse engine

Thanks to Dean Orton for this amazing experience! And thanks to Try Cromate SC for this beautiful day!

New Lambretta clutch teams up the bgm PRO SUPERSTRONG clutch range

Lambretta, News

Clutch -BGM PRO Superstrong 6 plates, 10 springs- Lambretta LI, LI S, SX. TV (series 2-3), DL / GP

It was a long wait, but it was worth it! From now on we can offer you the a SUPERSTRONG clutch for your Lambretta. For the Vespa clutch system -regardless if Largeframe or Smallframe- the SUPER STRONG range is the reference and setting the standards for all Vespa clutches.

The new Lambretta clutch features some very unique and special details. And it can combined with standard Lambretta clutch parts and plates. So you'll have a clutch where you can get parts nearly everywhere and in the future as well.

The clutches comes as complete sets with 46 or 47 rear sprocket and can be used for LI / SX as well as dl / GP clutch operating systems.

All parts are available individually. The delivery of the Complete clutch system contains:

The well elaborated design with ten springs and six plates gives a very easy and smooth to operate clutch unit. Even with the combination of 15 teeth front sprocket and 47 rear sprocket, which puts a heavy load on the clutch it can easily handle even the most powerful TS1 engines. Mathematically the combination is capable of handling 60 Nm torque.

Rear sprockets with 46 or 47 teeth

You can choose between 46 or 47 teeth at the rear wheel. Plenty of windows ensure a lightened flywheel and enough room for the oil to enter and keep the clutch plates and bushing oiled all the time.

The sides of the rear sprocket are longer to give the option for different clutch plate and steel discs combinations. Together with the newly available bgm PRO front sprockets the drive train of your Lambretta can be updated perfectly.

Clutch spider, pressure plate and top plate

For a very smooth and accurate operation of the clutch spider, clutch pressure and top plate were re-designed from scratch.

The CNC machined clutch spider is extended and the legs are perfectly matched to the pressure plate. This gives a very easy release of the clutch unit even under hard acceleration from a standstill.

The even pressure of ten instead of five springs even adds to this.

Built-in clutch compression tool

As invented by Sticky we have two threads in the clutch spider to make compressing the clutch a cake walk. With two screws and nuts you can easily compress the clutch unit for assembly or re-assembly.

Available with 16, 17, 18 and 19 teeth

Lambretta chain

We can offer you suitable chains from Iris in reasonable price range and Iwis in heavy duty quality.

In addition to the special tools required to replace the chain and the sprocket, you, of course, also need a

new fill of oil and seals for the oil fill and drain plug, and the transmission cover.

When changing oil, it is worthwhile to equip the gear cover directly with a sightglass - making the oil level in the gear always under control.
